A man in Xuzhou, China jumped to his death while shopping with his girlfriend (via the Daily Mail). The couple had been shopping for five hours and eyewitnesses heard the man complain that they had more bags than they could carry. His girlfriend mentioned that she wanted to visit a shoe store that was having a sale. When the man responded that she had more shoes than she could wear, the two began screaming at each other. The man abruptly ended the argument when he threw his bags down and jumped over the balcony, hitting a kiosk before falling to the floor. He died on impact. No other shoppers were injured in the incident. A spokesman for the mall mentioned that "this is a tragic incident, but this time of year can be very stressful for many people" in a gross understatement to the press.
